Full time.
The Cherries are defeated on the road, as it ends 3-1 to Leicester.
Callum Wilson struck for the first time this season for the Cherries, but it was goals from Vardy (2) and Tielemans that won it for Leicester.
Time added on...
They'll be seven added minutes here.
A final Leicester change...
Maddison is going off and Fuchs is on.
Mepham there again...
Good footwork from Gray sets up Maddison on the break, but Mepham gets back superbly to block the shot and deny Leicester another.Good save from Schmeichel...
Fraser gives it to Solanke, who drives a shot from range that requires the fingertips of the Dane to prevent it from going in.Our final change...
Surman is on in place of King.
Leicester have a third...
The ball isn't cleared and Vardy is found in space just yards out, converting again with his first touch.
Another Leicester change...
Choudhury is on in place of Barnes for the Foxes' second substitution of the afternoon.
Penalty shout...
Callum Wilson goes down in the area after what looked like a push from Soyuncu, but the referee books the striker for a supposed dive.
Crucial intervention from Mepham...
Leicester break quickly and look to have three-on-one, but the ball across, which would have put Vardy in, is crucially deflected by Mepham and Ramsdale can collect.
Good work from the Welshman.
Smith goes down the tunnel...
Let's hope it's not too serious.
Smith went down under a challenge just before coming off and went straight into the tunnel after making way.
A few substitutions to bring you...
Albrighton is going off for the hosts and Gray is coming on.
For the Cherries, Solanke and Ibe have just replaced Smith and Harry Wilson.
As a result, we've gone to a 3-4-3, with Mepham, Cook and Ake at the back.
A good break from the Cherries...
Harry Wilson plays it forward and gives it to Callum Wilson. He turns, sees Smith running in and passes right, but the shot is deflected.
VAR in use here at the King Power!
Tielemans has gone in on Callum Wilson and catches his ankle. It's a nasty tackle and the winger doesn't get the ball.
It goes to VAR to check for a red card, but it's waved away and the referee carries on with the game. You've certainly seen them given...
Luckily, Callum Wilson is ok to continue, but that could've been nasty.
Maddison's turn to shoot...
And it's once again from long range!
The forward has a go from 20 yards, but it doesn't challenge Ramsdale and goes for a goal-kick.
We're back underway...
A big second half to come, as Leicester get things started.
Half time...
A late chance for the Cherries as Harry Wilson sees his shot blocked from Fraser's corner, but we go into the break a goal down.
We've seen plenty of the ball in the first half and created some good openings... A big second period to come.
Three added on...
The fourth official has indicated they'll be an additional three minutes at the end of the first half.
Leicester retake the lead...
Vardy gets lucky after Cook blocks the initial cross, he picks it back up and squares for Tielemans who just has to tap home.
Albrighton goes into the book...
Fraser is fouled in his own half, with Albrighton picking up a yellow card.
Last ditch from Cook...
Leicester burst forward and Albrighton looks to play in Vardy for a tap-in, but Cook gets a toe to it on the stretch and Billing can clear.
Lerma goes into the book...
The Colombian is booked for a late foul on Tielemans.
Another one from range...
Soyuncu tries to curl one from outside the box and it nearly finds the top corner, but it goes just over the bar.
Vardy shoots...
Vardy works himself into a shooting position on the right-hand side and drives a low shot at Ramsdale, but the 'keeper is equal to it and holds.
The leveller!
Albrighton has a go...
The winger receives the ball on the edge of the area and has a shot, but it goes way over Ramsdale's goal.
Up the other end of the pitch, Philip Billing finds himself in a similar position and sadly ends up with a similar outcome.
GOAAAAAL
Fraser slips through Callum Wilson, whose first-time shot beats Schmeichel and goes in off the post!!
Back in it!!!
Left side combining well...
Ake and Fraser are linking up well on the left, with the latter putting another ball into the box, but it's claimed by Schmeichel and cleared.Goal for Leicester.
It's a good finish from Vardy who races onto a through ball, and chips Ramsdale on the half-volley.
Superb from Smith...
The right-back goes on a marauding run through midfield and gets into a great position in the box.
He attempts to cross for Callum Wilson, but Leicester hack it clear.
First opening...
It's that combination of Fraser and Callum Wilson as we so often see.
The winger puts a deep cross into the box and the England international is running onto it, but Schmeichel gets there just in time.
Ake at left back...
Judging by the opening stages, we're going with a 4-4-2, as opposed to a 3-4-3.
Ake has slotted in at left-back, with Smith taking up his usual role of right-back.
We're underway!
Harry Wilson gets us started and we'll be kicking from left to right!
Let's go, lads!
The teams are out!
We're minutes from kick-off here...
Leicester line up as follows: Schmeichel (C), Chilwell, Soyuncu, Evans, Tielemans, Vardy, Maddison, Albrighton, Barnes, Pereira, Ndidi
Our team is at the top of the page!
We're moments away...
The teams are in the tunnel are the King Power is rocking.
Cherries fans are making good noise in the far corner as they await their team.
Looking calm...
The Cherries are out warming up and the heavens have opened here at the King Power.
We're half an hour from kick-off and the stadium is slowly filling up!
Eddie Howe has also previewed the game...
Team news is in!
Harry Wilson is the only change since our last Premier League outing, as he comes into the team in place of Daniels.
Callum Wilson will lead the line, with Billing and Lerma retaining their partnership in the middle.
The formation is a 3-4-3, but could easily change to a 4-4-2, with Ake slipping into left-back and Smith occupying the right-back slot.
Pre-match thoughts from Aaron Ramsdale...
Penalty prowess...
Bournemouth's Joshua King has scored a penalty in two of the last three meetings between the sides.
Will he bag another today?
Welcome!
We're here at the King Power Stadium for this afternoon's Premier League game against Leicester City.
We'll have team news at 2pm and all the build up in the next two hours, so don't move a muscle!
